Hosted by <a href="https://www.mgrahamsmith.com/about/">M. Graham Smith</a>, we are delighted to bring you the tenth episode of our podcast series – SDCF Podcast Series: Regional Originals with M. Graham Smith – a series of interviews with some of the most exciting Directors and Choreographers working in America’s regional theatres today. Today Graham is with Tony Taccone, the man who commissioned Angels in America and whose work at <a href= "http://www.theeurekatheater.org/">The Eureka Theater</a> was so powerful and provocative that it was burned down as a political act. Now, as the Artistic Director of <a href= "https://www.berkeleyrep.org/">Berkeley Repertory Theater,</a> Tony works to put on theater for an audience that is "eager to think in metaphor: strange, esoteric, explosive, epic investigations of what it means to be alive right now". The secret to life is to stay curious! - Tony Taccone, 2018
